and yes, the "Putin is going to be able to steal my poetry" example was real - from one of the LJ Facebook groups I've been reading. There was someone *really* concerned that somehow Putin was going to be getting his hands on her poetry that she keeps under a privacy lock.

Not "the Russian Government" and not, that I could tell, that it's "political", but rather personal... and that she was going to be punished for writing it. (and no, the FB account said they were in the US)

So even with my doing my usual twist to things, like I said, there are people who are legit frightened about this, and I've already seen a reverse Livejournal Lives movement happening... I just can't take part in it (at the moment at least).
